One of the companies behind Star Citizen, Cloud Imperium, has raised $17.25m in investment.
In a post on the firm's site, it revealed that previous investors Calder Family Office, Snoot Entertainment, and ITG Investment had all decided to buy more shares in Cloud Imperium. These outfits were also involved in the $46m private investment that was made at the end of 2018.

In total, Star Citizen has raised in the region of $340m. The game's initial crowdfunding push on Kickstarter brought in $2.1m, with the title's audience having donated more than $275m directly to the project. Over 2.6m people have been part of this crowdfunding push.
That figure stood at $251m at the end of November 2019, meaning that another $24m has been donated in the last four months.
The aforementioned $46m investment was to help get the single-player Squadron 64 portion of the game out of the gate. The beta for that project was delayed by three months in September 2019.
America's Federal Trade Commission has received 129 complaints about Star Citizen as of May 2019.
